Friday's Fashion Fails: Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian wants us to know she's gone high-fashion. Not only is she dating designer Kanye West, the couture-loving couple is currently in Paris for Fashion Week and sitting front row at the shows, natch. Kim wore this black and white gown to the Stephane Rolland show and it just seems like she's trying too hard to us.

Her black dress isn't too bad. The thigh-high slit shows off her toned legs and at least she went with summer-appropriate shoes, instead of boots, this time. But it's the big white accent on the gown that throws us off. Is it supposed to be a flower?

And what's going on with her slicked back hair? We like how she's been rocking less extensions and trying a more natural look, but this hairdo is a don't. It looks greasy and too severe.

The final verdict? Sure, Kim's stepping up her style lately and going for a more edgy look, but we kind of miss her former colorful wardrobe and girly glam getups. Don't be so serious!

Nicki Minaj

She may have won Best Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards, but Nicki Minaj sure didn't win Best Dressed. This is just one of three different outfits she rocked during the show, but it seems she saved the best worst for last. How the heck can she breathe?

Everything about this outfit looks so uncomfortable, from the high-waisted, skin-tight, snakeskin leggings that are giving her a major case of camel toe, to the neon bustier top she's spilling out of. We get that Nicki has her own eccentric style and loves to show off her rocking curves, but would it kill her to invest in something that actually fits?

The final verdict? We'd love to see Nicki switch up her outrageous looks for something a little less tight just for a change. She sat front row right by Beyoncé, who bared some major leg in a colorful Stephane Rolland gown that managed to be sexy without showing too much. Maybe they can compare style notes for their next big night out?
